Changes

Having said all that, the writing style is engaging and easy to read. And there's a bit of humour here and there. I found this quite an earnest book. Lees seems extremely eager to please but it all came across as a bit of a hotchpotch for me. I started out really enjoying the story but my interest did dip a little about half-way through - yes, even with all that globe-trotting. Some of Nadia's dialogue is extremely old-fashioned and a bit sugary and it irked me a little. Overall, rather average.

If this book appeals you might also enjoy [[One Morning Like A Bird by Andrew Miller]].
